This is actually a different matter I think. Looks like this DAC only supports DOP or ASIO when in Windows which is because the manufacturer has no driver support in Linux for anything but basic USB. I think in Windows you might be able to DOP to work with XBMC but best ask around, also Async mode is likely Window only so SQ would likely be better.

I'm not sure I understand what you wrote. I am running KodiBuntu. Are you saying that my DAC does not support DSD under linux? W4S specifically states that they support DSD, and Async USB driverlessly on MAC and Linus platforms. Also most reviewers using this DAC have done their reviews on MAC so it definitely supports those modes.

Or are you saying that DSD and/or Async mode is only supported in Windows? I not sure why that would be as Ubuntu and linux are both USB Class 2 Audio compliant so they support USB async in the base OS.

So I am confused now.
